1. Saying goodbye for the first time.

Your car is packed, parents waiting impatiently as you say goodbye to the person you've spent everyday for the past few years with.

2. Trying to calm him down before his first exam.

Encouraging texts only do so much. Gone are the days where you can walk him to class and stay up late studying together.

3. Having to listen to your friends from home talk about how great it is to go to college with their boyfriends.

I get that you're happy and I'm happy for you but please just stop talking.

4. Trying not to get upset when Facetime glitches and won't connect.

"Hello? Hi how are- wait wait I can't hear you... can you see me? Okay I'm just going to call you."

5. Sending him a selfie when he asks even though you haven't stopped studying for three days.

I don't look too bad right? RIGHT?

6. When he tells you you're beautiful regardless of the aforementioned selfie.

"I know it may not be true but it's coming from you so it's okay."

7.Listening to him talk about all the girls he's met.

I know they're not even friends but still, Karen does not need to sit next to him in class. Pick another seat Karen.

8. Doing all the things the two of you used to do together.

Maybe the reason I loved watching "Kitchen Nightmares" wasn't because I loved Gordon Ramsay but because I loved making fun of Gordon Ramsay with you.

9. Having your first real breakdown.

Huge thank you to my roommate for staying up with me crying until 2 A.M. Much appreciated.

10. Frantically cleaning the day before they come visit.

I may not actually have my life together, but he doesn't need to know that.

11. Finally seeing them for the first time.

I know it's only been three weeks but it feels like a lifetime.

12. Trying to act cool when he asks if you're home sick.

It's not that I don't like it here. I just wish you and my dogs and pizza were here too.

13. Realizing the weekend is over and he has to leave again.

Please just stay here, we can lock ourselves in my dorm and never come out. Who needs class? Who needs a degree? I need cuddles!

14. When it finally hits you that this is your relationship now.

Three more weeks isn't too bad is it? I can do this for the next four years right?

15. Realizing that no matter how hard long distance is, he worth it.

I am absolutely willing to spend just three days with you now to have 3,000 days with you later.

P.S. If anyone every tries to tell you that your relationship is doomed, or that long distance doesn't work, don't believe them for a second. Long distance is hard, don't get me wrong but if you two are willing to put in the effort to be together then nothing can stop you.

P.P.S Even if your long distance relationship doesn't work, just remember, you are a strong beautiful independent woman. Sandy Cheeks never needed a man, and neither do you.
